Life without music is no life at all.

Speaking is a beautiful folly; with that man dances over all things.

The mouth may lie, alright, but the face it makes nonetheless tells the truth.

It's not the intensity of the man, but the duration of his intensity that makes the man great.

Be generous in nature and thought; for this wins respect and gives confidence and power.

For nothing is more democratic than logic; it is no respecter of persons and makes no distinction between crooked and straight noses.
